Ellery x Specsavers

When designing, I focus on creating modern classics for intelligent women and this eyewear collection is no exception.

— Designer, Kym Ellery

Luxury womenswear brand ELLERY has collaborated with Specsavers to create a collection of fourteen optical glasses and six prescription sunglasses. The eyewear collection incorporates the sophisticated signature style Kym Ellery is known for, at a surprisingly affordable price (two complete pairs for $199).

The ELLERY collection has been designed with style, wearability and quality in mind. With a touch of retro edge, Kym has included playful twists on the modern cat's eye, oversized square and round shapes. The use of rich colours and textures including marbled charcoal, tortoiseshell, cobalt blue, bottled green and brushed gold make this collection classic, yet modern and avant-garde - the true ELLERY aesthetic.

“For the range, I was inspired by cinematic personas throughout the decades. I looked at

archetypal roles such as Diane Keaton in Annie Hall, Susan Sarandon in Thelma and Louise

and of course, Woody Allen as himself, Woody Allen. The aesthetic of the ELLERY collections

is to combine masculine with feminine, and the ELLERY eyewear collection is a natural

extension of this,

When I first saw the ELLERY eyewear collection campaign, fronted by iconic supermodel Gemma Ward, I knew it was time to upgrade my glasses for stylish reasons as well as practical ones. My last pair of glasses were from eleven years ago, I was embarrassed to wear them, only bringing them out for night driving.
